Exploring Essential Oils

Are you skeptical of this whole essential oil craze? I was, too. I’ve used several oils for years, but thought there was no way all of them could live up to the hype. Too many friends were telling me how amazing they are, so I finally gave in and ordered the Premium Starter Kit. Now I’ll be sharing that adventure here with you as we explore essential oils and see how they work for use.

After just a few months, I’ve seen amazing benefits from using essential oils. I no longer need melatonin to fall asleep thanks to an awesome combination of Lavender, Cedarwood, and Valor. My seasonal sneezing is held at bay by Peppermint, Lavender, and Lemon. A drop of Lime in my water helps me accomplish my goal of drinking more water through out the day. Digize soothes our family’s tummy troubles. Lavender and tea tree oil have helped soothe skin issues the kids and I have been dealing with for years. I learn more about how the oils can benefit our family’s wellness every day, and that’s why I’m so excited to share this journey with you.

Essential oils are powerful and created to work perfectly with our bodies. It is funny that the media talks about essential oils like it is a new trend – people have been using them for thousands of years. I’ve read about their uses in the bible and in literature, and have long been intrigued by their uses.

There are lots of places you can buy essential oils, but we really love how Young Living is a trusted source and a pioneer in bringing the use of therapeutic oils to the United States.

And {of course}, we are running an amazing special that includes everything you need to get started with essential oils. This particular special is only good through November 30th when you register with enroller #2538556.

If you get a premium Young Living starter kit {which is, on its own, a really great deal at $160}… plus extra goodies from me to help you get started with essential oils. That is an amazing deal, offered only for the months of March, April, and May through this blog only.

We love the oils so much we want to share them with you – along with materials to help you learn how to use oils in your home to promote wellness. This spring you will receive a FREE 5 ml bottle of Lime, Orange, and Grapefruit Vitality Oils as a bonus from me.

The Essential Oil Starter Guide is a gorgeous 20+ page booklet that covers uses for each of the essential oils in the starter set.

Access to the Oil Nation FB page (and others, if you are interested).

Introductory email course covering essential oil basics.

*This offer is for US & Canada only.

We are using the commission that we would make off your purchase to give you the educational resources because we truly believe that you will get the most out of your essential oils when you have great information.

Do you have questions or need more information? If you have questions or need more information, please fill out this form here OR email me at barefeetonthedashboard@gmail.com.

If you are ready to buy a starter kit, then be sure to sign up as a wholesale member (with one of the premium starter kits) through the instructions below:

2. Be sure the “Wholesale Member” option is checked so that you don’t end up paying retail prices.

3. Be sure the “sponsor ID” and “enroller id” say 2538556 (so that I can send you your package!)

4. If you do not feel comfortable putting in your social security number (this is only for tax purposes if you decide to turn this into a business) then you can get an EIN from the IRS in just a few seconds here and use that number instead (the IRS just needs to be able to connect some number with you for tax purposes). They need a Social Security Number or an EIN because if you make $600 or more per year selling Young Living products, you will receive a 1099 form in the mail (which is required by law). Young Living will never share this info with anyone.

5. Select which starter kit you want to get. My recommendation would be the Premium Starter Kit (and that’s the one that qualifies you to receive the educational package from me). The oils included in the Premium Starter Kit box (10 – 5 ml bottles) are the oils I use almost every single day. You can get the kit that’s $160, or you choose a different essential oil diffuser at other prices points.

6. During the sign up process, please note that Step 3 is optional. The Young Living Essential Rewards (ER) program is great. It allows you to save on shipping costs and earn credit for every ER purchase along with monthly bonuses. You can always sign up for this voluntary program later and I’ll send over an email with more details on that part of things after you sign up.

7. Go through the checkout process.

IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE CHECKING OUT on the Young Living website, please don’t hesitate to email me at barefeetonthedashboard@gmail.com, or call Young Living Customer Service to get your order taken care of immediately.

IMPORTANT: This promotion is only available when you sign up with the sponsor ID and enroller ID as #2538556!

Frequently Asked Questions:

Does signing up obligate me to sell Young Living?

Nope! You are not required to sell anything at all to anyone. When you become a wholesale member, you get a special link that you can share with friends and get credit from their purchases, but there are no minimum sales amounts at all. In fact, 90% of the wholesale members in Young Living don’t do the business side at all. They are buying from Young Living because of the quality alone.

Am I required to make a minimum purchase each month?

There are absolutely NO minimum monthly purchase requirements. To remain a wholesale member, you have to make $50 worth of purchases per year to keep your membership. But if there’s a year that you don’t make a $50 purchase, you can reinstate your wholesale membership discount by just placing a $50 order.

If you do find yourself making regular purchases each month, then Young Living has a rewards program (called Essential Rewards) where you can make a nice percentage back in product credit each month on all of your purchases. So that’s a neat program to join if you find that you *want* to purchase regularly (but it’s not a requirement for being a wholesale member).

Why should I buy from Young Living instead of other essential oils companies?

It does seem like a new essential oils company pops up every day, right?

I can’t speak to the quality of other companies, but I can say that Young Living was the only company in my research of essential oil companies that could answer all of my questions about purity in a way that was satisfactory to me.

Young Living was the only company that has their own farms (in the regions where the plants should be grown), could absolutely guarantee that no pesticides or herbicides were used in the growing of any of their oils (they use essential oils for pest control and they do all of the weeding by hand), has their own testing equipment (they do both in-house and 3rd party testing, and use many different testing methods not just GC/MS which only tests for certain chemicals, not whether those chemicals are synthetic or not), and only uses the first distillation of oils instead of adding chemicals to get more out of the plant.

Young Living also was the only company that was directly in charge of essential oil farming operations. Every other company I researched goes through some kind of an “oil broker” to buy their oils. They have to trust that the oil broker is telling the truth, who has to trust that the essential oil distilleries are telling the truth, who have to trust that the farmers are telling the truth about what they say they are doing.

With Young Living, you just have to trust one company instead of several.

I feel like it’s a trust step either way (anyone could be lying) but I felt the most comfortable trusting Young Living since they are a full-disclosure company. ANYONE can visit the farms, participate in the harvesting and distillation, view the Young Living labs, and see the entire process. That’s not an option with any other company.

How will I know which oils to use for what?

One of the benefits of getting a starter kit through this promotion is that you also get to join our private Facebook group that’s specifically for questions about essential oils!

The reference guide that I’m giving away as part of this promotion is also a HUGE resource. You can look up almost anything in it and see which essential oils and supplements can be helpful.

Does Young Living only sell essential oils?

The answer to this one was surprising to me when I first got my starter kit! Young Living actually has an entire line of personal care products, supplements, meal replacements, energy drinks, and more! Almost every product incorporates essential oils (for example, frankincense is absolutely wonderful in facial products), but there’s a wide variety of products available.
